Publisher Description
Incomparable #1 New York Times bestselling author Nora Roberts delivers a tale of gut-level fear, human triumph, and the bonds that carry us through our darkest times…
Reena Hale’s destiny was shaped in the destructive—yet fascinatingly beautiful—fire that leveled her family’s pizzeria when she was young. Now an arson investigator, she finds her strength and wits constantly tested, although sometimes the job seems like a snap compared to her love life. But she can’t always blame the men. After all, a soot-caked woman barking orders and smelling of smoke isn’t the biggest turn-on in the world. Then she meets Bo Goodnight, who seems different. He’s been trying to find Reena for years, and now that she’s close enough to touch, he has no intention of letting go.
Nor does the man who has begun to haunt Reena’s life—with taunting phone calls and a string of horrifying crimes. And as Reena tries desperately to trace the origins—of the calls, the fires, the hatred aimed in her direction—she will step into the worst inferno she has ever faced...

"This was my first Nora Roberts books to read. She is a favorite author of several women I know and I must admit, I enjoyed this novel myself. Plot summary: An arson investigator is born the night her family's pizza parlor is burned by a man that she spends her adult life trying to bring to justice."

" Another "stand-alone" novel -- excellent. "
— Linda, 2/20/2014 -
" This was a good one. Kind of slow in places, though. I enjoyed the fire investigation. I enjoyed Reena's Italian family. The love story was a good one. "
— Michele, 2/7/2014 -
" Possibly my favorite Nora Roberts book. The family has a dynamic I relate to. "Dream Girl" is just beyond cute... I so need this man to move in next door! "
— Becky, 2/6/2014 -
" The first Nora Roberts book I read. Easy to read and enjoyable. Having read one or two more I have to say that I find her books a bit formulaic. Good for a quick read when on holiday or feeling "under the weather"! "

" currently traveling back and forth to work book on tape "
— Mary, 1/30/2014 -
" so interesting! not normally my type of story line but i couldn't put it down! "
— Tammy, 1/29/2014 -
" I had to read the reviews a little over a year later to remember the book, which isn't uncommon, but indicates to me that the book didn't stick out. I do enjoy Nora Roberts, and she's a fox, if her brush touched pictures indicate anything, then again maybe I don't remember the author's page anymore than the book. I will continue to read more. "

" Setelah baca Northern Light, Angel Falls sama ini, memutuskan bahwa genre NR yg begini cucok buatku , bukan yang romance... Seruu, tokoh utamanya juga selalu wanita tangguh... keren, recommended :) "
— Sintia, 1/5/2014 -
" I don't like her JD Robb books because they are too violent and gruesome. This on was very close to that style. If this had been my first NR book I would never read another. "
